THE WOMAN THEY CALLED GARTER COLT

Cinemavixion Review

In the rugged landscape of the Spaghetti Western, where machismo often reigns supreme, "The Woman They Called Garter Colt" (1968) bravely introduces Lulu, a protagonist as striking as she is deadly. Portrayed with magnetic charisma by Nicoletta Machiavelli, Lulu is no damsel in distress; she's a master of the poker table and a crack shot, her signature garter holster a symbol of her unconventional prowess. The narrative weaves a tale of intrigue and romance as Lulu finds herself entwined with a mysterious French spy. Their shared path pits them against the notorious bandit Red and his menacing crew. This film stands out for its daring female lead, offering a refreshing perspective that challenges the genre's traditional male-dominated archetypes and proving that Lulu is more than capable of holding her own against any gunslinger.
